Those look great. I had the C2S's rebuilt and power coated in arena red over the winter. There is just something about new/rebuilt calipers...

So what does Sir Travis have on his calendar in, say, February?

Probably one of the best things I did was refinish my calipers. Those look great!

Thanks for the compliments guys!

First off this is not a big business. We're just a couple of 993 guys working in our garage. We wanted to rebuild and refinish our calipers, and after doing 4 sets we've started getting really good results. Justin's calipers are the best set we've done to date.
We start by cleaning everything really well, and pluging all the holes. Then we bead blast the calipers, and clean again. Next is more cleaning, then powder coating, baking and the high temp decals. Lastly we clean again and replace the pistons and seals with Brembo rebuild kits.

Here are a few pictures.
If your interested send me a PM.

swmic - I bought kits for all four calipers (standard brakes, not big reds) from Sunset late last year and, if a recall, it was $350 shipped to my door.

I thought I'd just add to this thread concerning Travis's work. I just recently received my rear calipers back and cannot be any happier with how they turned out. Travis is a true gentlemen and was so easy to deal with. His turn around time was spot on and his customer service second to none. He does not do this as a business but a means of returning back to the community.

Thanks Travis!!

Dan

We media blast and use powder coating from Eastwood. So we can do any color you see on their site.
